United States Congress voted to extend payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits on Friday, sending legislation straight to President Barack Obama's desk.
"As soon as Congress sends me that extension of tax cuts and unemployment insurance to my desk, I will sign it right away," Obama said.
The bill would maintain a two percentage point payroll tax cut for 160 million working Americans, saving the middle class one thousand dollars this year.
West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller voted in favor of this.
"I've said that we need to make sure that workers get some relief in this tough economic climate," he said.
West Virginia Congressman David McKinley voted against the bill.
"Adding $89 billion to our nation's debt is simply unacceptable," he said. "Our children and grandchildren are depending on us to ease the massive burden of debt."
However, the extension is inevitable, and as Certified Financial Planner for McKinley Carter Wealth Services in Wheeling Russell Dunkin says, it is important that residents of the Ohio Valley spend the extra money wisely.
"I never hear someone say hey, I'm gonna get $4,000 back, I'm gonna save it," he said. "Most people I hear are talking about it. We are going to want to spend it on."
Dunkin said the average person received over $3,000 last year in their tax refund. He advises people to stop withholding that much money.
"Go to the employer, get your W-4 form and use it to correct what is being withheld," he said.
Dunkin also recommends you set up an emergency fund for unexpected costs. He said start saving early.
